Description
Thai Bangkaews are fiercely loyal, one-person dogs with an independent streak. They form an unbreakable bond with their chosen human but can be aloof with strangers, their watchful eyes missing nothing. Their ancient Spitz lineage reveals itself in their high intelligence and spirited, often stubborn, nature. Expect a confident and vocal companion, always ready to alert their family to anything amiss. They thrive in active homes where their boundless energy and sharp minds are consistently engaged, transforming them from boisterous guardians into devoted, playful partners. Adaptable and resilient, they demand respect and a firm, consistent hand.
